I didn't have these for my firstborn or even know that they existed until my nephew was born a few months later and discovered what a necessity they are! My sister got them as a hospital take-away, but for me they were well worth the investment for the first couple weeks of being at home with baby.

No matter whether baby is born in cold or hot weather, the lightweight cotton long sleeves are important to help keep a newborn covered up and maintain body temperature. The cuffed sleeves are great to keep baby from scratching themselves and the wrap-style closure with buttons is really helpful on a wiggly and delicate infant-- it can be nerve-wracking those first few days to pick up your baby when they're so tiny and new and fragile that even slipping their head through a onesie can be scary until you get the hand of it. The best part of these, really, is just the ease of diaper changes, which there are a million of in the first days. Coupled with a good swaddle blanket, you just might be lucky enough to change a diaper without waking up your little one!

The negatives of these are that they are cut short, which is helpful if you're concerned about the umbilical stump, but I still prefer something that I don't have to keep tugging down; and also the wear-time/life-span of these-- these will really only last and be useful the first 2-3 weeks until your newborn has plumped up a bit and the umbilical stump is healed. That being said, still a worthwhile investment that helps during the chaotic first few weeks.

I really like the fit of the shirt overall but now that my baby has grown a couple of inches the shirt is too small. The 0-3 month no longer fits my 1 month old who was born 8.26 lbs. I wish they had the next size up. The top always fit snug in the arms, there's no way we would of gotten his hands to slide out of the shirt but I bought it for the mittens so it didn't bother me.

Nice to just have a top that isn't a onesie and worked well with his healing umbilical cord.

I purchased (and according to the label between the shoulder blades, received) the 0-3 month size. This is not a terrible product; however, the two I received had very inconsistent arms - one had sleeves that were significantly longer and wider than the other. Both of them were very VERY small in the wrist/mitten department. I think that if you purchased the 0-3 for a newborn you'd be set for a few weeks. I received these when my baby was three weeks old and she was only able to wear the small sleeved one for a few times and the larger sleeved one another few times. Had I had these straight out of the hospital, I think I would have gotten much more wear out of them. The side snaps are great for a new baby, it can make it easier to keep their backs covered while doing skin to skin bonding. I've also seen new parents (dads especially) love them because changing their clothing can be easier when you don't have to worry about jarring their head pulling it in and out of a onesie.

This is essential for your newborn. Especially since their fast growing nails are so thin and long and they tend to scratch their beautiful faces. Better than the mittens that keep falling off. The sleeves come so that you can cover their hands. These shirts are convenient to change their frequent diapers instead of having to unlatch a onesie from the bottom and then take it off over their heads. Trust me that makes a difference when its 3 am and you haven't slept and you want to change his diaper without waking him up. Another thing is when they are first born, it is recommended to not cover the umbilical cord until it falls off and heals. These shirts allow air to flow through.

My daughter was born in January and this was pretty much the only thing she wore at first. It was great with her umbilical cord still healing. Very easy to get on and off (which is great because dressing a newborn was pretty terrifying at first). Easy to wash and dry. Took up almost no space in the hospital bag and was great for changing her diaper while she was sleepy. I have bought this as a gift for others and will buy it again with the next newborn (because honestly, I could have used more than two last time)

We always get a bunch of these side snap shirts for the newborns. It makes it easier to dress when they're so tiny and I don't like pulling shirts over their heads yet. These are great to bring to the hospital since they need to be dressed and undressed for so many checks. I prefer these to onsies until the baby's belly button stump falls off since it doesn't snag as much and you're able to cover and uncover the stump to let it dry better.

Run a little small. Baby was smaller than average so they fit well for him, but generally compared to other clothes, they were small for a 0-3 month. They are pretty tight, but stretch easily. Cutting nails was difficult, so using the mitt cuffs was a savior for us. Loved the snaps for easy changing when there were some explosions or spit up without having to touch baby's face. Also nice that it's a shirt to not interfere so much with the umbilical cord.
